The soap workshop began to expand.
Eighty strong men started working at the same time, and the speed should not be underestimated.
With Mr. Zhao personally supervising the work, Cheng Wanwan doesn't need to worry about anything on the site.
She was discussing recruitment with Mrs. Zhao.
"There is no one in the village who is unwilling to work. Men earn 800 cash a month, and women and girls earn 600 cash a month. There are many people competing for jobs." Old Mrs. Zhao said, "Zhao Yougui and his son are stupid Gen, as well as several of his cousins, are all honest and hardworking, and can be enjoyed by the whole family..."
Cheng Wanwan interrupted her: "If the whole family comes to work in the soap workshop, who will do the farm work in the fields?"
Although this dynasty is open to the outside world, it still tends to focus on agriculture and suppress business. If commercial activities affect agricultural production, her soap workshop may not be able to continue.
"There are only two processes in the soap factory that require strong men, and all other processes are done by women and girls. There is only one prime-age laborer from each family." She said while thinking, "Currently, the factory is Eighteen workers, if we recruit fifty more, it will be almost a hundred people, and we need dedicated people to manage and patrol to prevent anyone from being lazy."
Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Leave it to me to take care of people, and I will make sure these people are obedient!"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said, "Then I will pay my mother 800 wages a month, and I will take care of people from now on, okay?"
"Managing people is just a matter of convenience. How can I ask for your wages?" Old Mrs. Zhao waved her hand with a nonchalant look on her face.
"It's not just about managing them, there's also employee performance appraisal." Cheng Wanwan said in detail, "Every month, three to five outstanding employees are selected and each is given a hundred cents reward. Furthermore, within one month, Employees who come to work every day and do not arrive late or leave early can also be given an appropriate reward of 20 yuan..."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened: "You pay them such a high salary every month, how can you also give them extra rewards? Do you really think that money comes from strong winds?"
"With incentives, everyone will work harder, instead of just being a monk and clocking time." Cheng Wanwan said seriously, "My mother needs to personally select outstanding employees every month. This is an arduous task. . Also, when there are more people, you need to choose a team leader to manage. How to choose a team leader, who to choose, these things all need to be considered by my mother."
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but straighten her back and nodded solemnly: "I will definitely take care of these things for you!"
After receiving the errand, the old lady worked more carefully and conscientiously.
Cheng Wanwan sat in the yard and continued to refine various rules and regulations. With a small number of employees, he could still rely on relationships to manage, but in the future there will only be more and more employees. Therefore, all the rules and regulations must be listed one by one and posted on the workplace. On the wall of the square, let everyone read...
While she was busy, she suddenly remembered something and quickly called Zhao Ergou over who was busy: "Shopkeeper Yan, please go over there and hand over the remaining few hundred taels of silver. The transfer of ownership of the shop is... In my name, also, please measure the dimensions of every place upstairs in the shop, and I will design how to decorate it."
Among the four sons in the family, it would be unfair to give someone a piece of property suddenly. For the time being, it would all be in her name, and they would be divided slowly when the family is divided later.
Zhao Ergou went to the town to buy a shop with nearly one thousand taels of silver.
Cheng Wanwan finished writing the rules and regulations, and then called Cheng Zhao to copy them a few more times. Her handwriting was not good-looking, but Cheng Zhao's handwriting was praised by everyone.
After writing the rules and regulations, they were posted on the wall of the soap workshop.
A group of people gathered around to watch.
"Whoever knows the word, please read it to us."
Zhao Dashan stood on the side and read it again.
"As long as you work every day, don't be late or leave early, will you be rewarded with twenty cents?"
"Select five outstanding employees every month and reward each one with a hundred cents?"
"In addition to the salary, I can also get additional rewards. Dashan Niang is so generous."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go to work quickly. I want to be an excellent employee this month!"
"I heard that the Zhao family's grandma selects outstanding employees. I'm going to ask what's going on..."
Old Mrs. Zhao is trying on clothes in the house. She has to go to work later and is responsible for taking care of people. She must wear good clothes. However, she only has three or four pieces of clothes in total. She has tried them all but still feels dissatisfied. Some of the clothes were not worthy of her current status...
Just as he was trying, the yard suddenly became noisy.
Mrs. Zhao walked out quickly.
"Grandma Zhao, I heard that your shoulder hurts. Let me give you a hammer."
"Oh, your clothes have a tear. Take them off quickly and I'll give you two stitches."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Mrs. Zhao took a step back, "You are all showing off your courtesy one by one. Each month's outstanding employees are selected based on your usual performance. If you have time to fool around with me here, you might as well go back to work. !”
She had a selfless look, letting everyone know that her relationship with smugglers would definitely not work, and she had to work hard.
So, one by one, they immediately returned to the workshop and started working.
Originally, we could finish work at the end of the afternoon every afternoon, which was around five o'clock in the evening. The sun had already set that day, and there were still a few men and women busy in the workshop until Zhao Sanniu came over to lock the door. The talent reluctantly went back.
The early winter nights come quickly.
Just after finishing the meal and before washing the dishes, it was completely dark.
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan were standing in the yard, one standing while chopping firewood, the other squatting and reading.
In the room, a candle was lit on the table, and Cheng Zhao and Shen Zheng were also studying. As soon as winter was over, the college exams would come. Now every day and every night was extremely precious.
Wu Xiaochui was also reading words beside him. Zhao Sidan had written them on the paper in advance. He put the paper in his pocket and took it out from time to time to read it several times. At the end of the day, he could remember at least ten words, and he had enough time. Sometimes I used branches to write and draw on the ground, and then I remembered how to write...
The little granddaughter Zhao Yuezhu has fallen asleep, and Wu Huiniang is sitting at the table, sewing clothes for the child by candlelight.
Zhao Ergou and Cheng Wanwan were discussing the shop: "This is the land deed for the shop, which has been completed. This is the upper and lower structural diagram of the shop I drew, with the dimensions marked on it."
Cheng Wanwan took over the dimensional drawing and nodded: "After I draw the design, you will mainly be busy with the decoration of the store. This is our first store, so every aspect must be perfect."
The main selling point of her shop is Huiniang's unique cooking skills, so it needs to be more high-end, with a better environment and good service, so it doesn't matter if the price is higher.
Although she had never been exposed to decoration matters in her previous life, she had been to eight hundred or not thousands of restaurants. After seeing more, she naturally had her own ideas.
When she went to bed that night, Cheng Wanwan kept thinking about the decoration plan in her mind, and fell asleep while thinking about it.
As soon as she got up the next day, she started drawing, writing and drawing on the paper with a charcoal pen. After a while, the general feeling came out.
When she was about to call Zhao Ergou to come over and explain it in detail, a carriage stopped in front of her house.
She got up and walked out, only to find that it was Wang Yuanwai from Ping'an County.
